This post, along with the others under the sign of "Dock Roads", is a shared research resource, principally for Philip and Hangfeng who are working on an idea that explores the situation of the Bund in Shanghai and the situation of the Pier Head in Liverpool.
Views from Broadway Mansions in the summer of 1965 looking towards the Bund. Horse and carts were used to move goods around the docks in Liverpool, as in this picture at the Pier Head, up until as late as the fifties. Living memories?
We are going to do a bit of excavation of the present and exploring the past, and in particular looking at Shanghai's Bund, and Dongdaming Lu running through the "North Bund", and juxtaposing findings with Liverpool's Pier Head and Dock Road.
